Most of the work I do on my ebikes, I use the double leg kickstand on the bike to elevate the back wheel off the ground. The Bike Hand YC-100BH work stand costs less than half as much as most other models we tested and is a very impressive value. However, if you’re a mechanic, who’ll be using their repair stand on a daily basis, on lots of different bikes (or your a weekend mechanic who’s not particularly cost conscious), then it makes sense to spend more. The Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic HD was the hands-down winner of this metric, with a quick and easy setup, unique user-friendly clamp design, and a sturdy and stable platform. The newest addition to the Steadyrack collection, our eBike Rack is now one of our most versatile racks.

Paying for the well-thought-out design and high-quality components is an investment against future frustration. We tested eight of the most popular work-stands on the market and will tell you which one is the ultimate E-MTB stand.The Feedback Sports Recreational has a similar clamp arm to the two models mentioned above but uses a large plastic knob that is slightly harder to grasp and turn. The forged clamp is a standout feature on this stand, being much easier to use than other models we've tested. If you've ever tried to repair your bike at home without a bike work stand, you probably understand how hassle it can be with your bike flipped upside down or leaning against a tree or wall in your garage. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that there’s no denying that eBikes are on the rise.

All the models we tested can be set up in just a handful of seconds, but a few stood out from the pack. I set the clamp reasonably loose, set the clamp to horizontal position and clamp the top tube at the point where the bike would stay balanced on the clamp even without any clamping forces. When the bike rack is empty, the arm simply folds away, making them a compact folding bike storage solution. He’s since been indoctrinated into gravel riding and more recently has taken to the dark art of mountain biking.With a maximum height of 58” (147cm), it’s shorter than most other repair stands (including the Bike Hand). It doesn't involve any clamping on frame tubes, and enables the mechanic to easily spin the bike so they can reach all areas and sides of the bike without having to move themselves.

Additionally, if you're frequently mounting different bikes or styles of bikes on these stands, you'll have to adjust the mounting locations and swap adapters each time. The Unior 1693A Bike Gator represents a more premium option and the finish is excellent, as is the quality of the sliding and telescoping components. Any of the work stands we've tested will undoubtedly serve you better than no stand at all, but some are clearly more impressive than others.This is the stand I use for my analogues, it takes seconds to mount the bike, easy to wipe down after hosing the bike, easy to lube the chain as it lifts up the back wheel, easy to spin the rear wheel for a quick gear indexing check ?
